Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Karissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Calm Down when you see our lighting.
Speaker 1: For all of you that enjoyed this podcast on YouTube,
Speaker 1: we got a real treat for you to we're doing.
Speaker 1: This is called on the Road and Looking Real Fresh.
Speaker 1: I wish you could see this, Uh, this setup I
Speaker 1: have in my realm. Everybody, Welcome to the Calm Down Podcast.
Speaker 1: We are in the same exact place, but in two
Speaker 1: different places at this hotel. If you understand what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: my laptop is resting on a cardboard box. You're in
Speaker 1: a kitchen. I'm in a kitchen. There's chairs, there's tables,
Speaker 1: there's Jillian, our friend and Artists to the Stars. There's
Speaker 1: a fire door. There's a whole thing happening here. And
Speaker 1: my microphone is in my purse. It's fun. It's perfect.
Speaker 1: So we are it's perfect. We are at the Fox
Speaker 1: NFL Seminar in Phoenix, Arizona, home of where we are
Speaker 1: going to have our Super Bowl next year. And it's
Speaker 1: been a packed day. I've had seven thousand meetings. What
Speaker 1: have you been doing? Um, well, you're very important, so
Speaker 1: you have a seven thousand meetings at sure two meetings
Speaker 1: and that's by the time it's all said and done.
Speaker 1: So I have I'm actually dressed and my hair is
Speaker 1: um or was there is done for the first time
Speaker 1: today because as we know, since we were sitting in
Speaker 1: meetings all morning, um, we to explain what the seminar
Speaker 1: is for those people that don't know what. So we
Speaker 1: all meet together once a year. Last year, with COVID restrictions,
Speaker 1: we didn't meet everyone being all of the crew. So
Speaker 1: like Aaron's on the road, I'm in studio. There's what
Speaker 1: is it five and other broadcasting teams that cover games
Speaker 1: all year long, but no one's ever all in the
Speaker 1: same place because logically they're covering a different game. So
Speaker 1: it's a team bonding, building retreat kind of thing. We
Speaker 1: all get together and then we go over different rule
Speaker 1: like different rule changes for the season. Speaking of which,
Speaker 1: one of the rules that they're changing, Aaron that we
Speaker 1: heard this morning the taunting rule. What the hell? I
Speaker 1: hate it? Hate it? I hate it. I was sitting
Speaker 1: next to me, not that I'm not in you know,
Speaker 1: full cooperation with the NFL. We love them. I'll do
Speaker 1: anything they say. But okay, so explain if you want
Speaker 1: to explain what the new rule is. And I think
Speaker 1: you and I are going to say the same exact thing.
Speaker 1: I was dying for somebody's reaction in that room. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: explain the new role. Okay, so taunting, basically, what they're
Speaker 1: saying is you can't. They had this thing a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago where they said, oh, you can't have
Speaker 1: an excessive celebration. If you scored a touchdown, you just
Speaker 1: had to put the ball in the back of the
Speaker 1: end zone, no dances, all that. Well, then the NFL
Speaker 1: got nicknamed the No Fun League. So they re implemented
Speaker 1: the celebrations and they were like, okay, have fun, celebrate
Speaker 1: if you score a touchdown. But now if you're a
Speaker 1: defensive player and you make this like sick play, or
Speaker 1: even if you're a wide receiver and you make a
Speaker 1: great catch and you kind of like throw it back
Speaker 1: in the face, not the ball, actually like throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: But if you show boat a little bit and you're
Speaker 1: like what up man, or like kind of direct I
Speaker 1: don't know what the actual technical like verbiage of taunting is,
Speaker 1: but if you're showboating in front of the player you
Speaker 1: just burned or beat or whatever, they call that taunting
Speaker 1: and then you're penalized. It's five yards on the can't wait,
Speaker 1: you can't, Yeah, you can't do that, you can't like
Speaker 1: what was the other one? Like one guy's like, oh,
Speaker 1: handcuff like a dB being like like, I didn't even
Speaker 1: know that gesture. Me neither either the guy explaining it.
Speaker 1: And Charles Woodson and Mike Vick are sitting next to
Speaker 1: us and they Charles is like, what, you can't do that?
Speaker 1: And Mike, you can't do that. I looked at every
Speaker 1: player in the room and they were like that's bullshit.
Speaker 1: Like again, we love the NFL, but we want to
Speaker 1: have fun and if you make a great play like
Speaker 1: I want, I like the show voting. My favorite player
Speaker 1: growing up was Dion Sanders because it's like, hey, let's
Speaker 1: you know, hey, fun fact about Dion which I didn't
Speaker 1: know this. He's like I always thought he was like
Speaker 1: a total ship talker. He goes Crissa, I never wants
Speaker 1: to use profanity, and I go what he doesn't cost?
Speaker 1: He doesn't cost, I know, but because it's like his
Speaker 1: hubrist nature and he's like, you know, it was always
Speaker 1: like flashing on the field and stuff. He was like
Speaker 1: I never used profanity, and I never like show voted
Speaker 1: about what I did over people. I just was a
Speaker 1: confident in my own you know ability. He probably loved
Speaker 1: the rule. I mean, I don't know. Um, so that
Speaker 1: was interesting that you you said it. Charles Woodson was
Speaker 1: the one guy I wanted to look at and because
Speaker 1: he you know, didn't get to be at our seminar
Speaker 1: last year, this is the first time he was there,
Speaker 1: and I know he was probably like, defensive players can't
Speaker 1: do what It was just awesome to kind of see
Speaker 1: what his reaction was really awesome to sit down and
Speaker 1: talk to him. Obviously, he's being inducted into the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame this week, and I had a chance to
Speaker 1: go over and say hi to him last night at dinner,
Speaker 1: and he's awesome. I love the reason and the story
Speaker 1: behind who's inducting him, which I don't want to give
Speaker 1: it away, but everybody will see that this week. It
Speaker 1: made me choke up. So I can't wait for that.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be there, so I'm doing the game, but
Speaker 1: I won't be there for the inductions. But um, I
Speaker 1: just got out of a production meeting for that. Tom
Speaker 1: Ronaldi and I will be handling the sidelines. Troy Aikman
Speaker 1: is presenting Jimmy Johnson, which is super special because everybody
Speaker 1: remembers that whole moment on Fox where Jimmy you know, uh,
Speaker 1: it was announced that he had aid it into the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and he lost it during the pregame
Speaker 1: and then I forgot where we were. I think we
Speaker 1: were maybe in Green Bay. They had a shot we
Speaker 1: were because Troy was in a coat. We had a
Speaker 1: shot of Troy up in the booth and he was
Speaker 1: bawling and that was just so sweet. So I'm excited
Speaker 1: for that moment. But that's the whole thing. Like Charles
Speaker 1: was talking about how many people are allowed to be invited,
Speaker 1: there's actually a head count. It was really funny. He
Speaker 1: said that the Hall of Fame tells you how many
Speaker 1: people you can invite, and you're like, why don't have
Speaker 1: that many people? I like? And then once the invites
Speaker 1: start coming, you're like, wait, this isn't enough. Kind of
Speaker 1: sounds like a big wedding, you know. Yeah, like that
Speaker 1: scene and Father of the Bride where he's like they're
Speaker 1: going through the cards and he's like, didn't he die?
Speaker 1: And he goes great and I guess good, um, but
Speaker 1: it's really it is really fun again to be with
Speaker 1: everyone here. Um. In case we haven't also called attention
Speaker 1: to why we're in separate rooms if we're at the
Speaker 1: same place, because I admittingly am not a technical person
Speaker 1: at all, So Kurt are amazing technical engineer producer. I
Speaker 1: think Kurt and Ryan are both insidered producers. It's not
Speaker 1: important right now, but what's amazing is Kurt is like,
Speaker 1: you two should just stay separate because the microphone interference.
Speaker 1: So that's why you and I are in different places.
Speaker 1: For those of you that we're wondering, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: you guys were all sitting there at home or wherever
Speaker 1: you're listening to our podcast wondering why we're not together.
Speaker 1: But it is fun to get together with the groups.
Speaker 1: And I was just thinking, as I was sitting there,
Speaker 1: because they give us the schedule, would you get five
Speaker 1: weeks of your games that you you know whatever. And
Speaker 1: I was looking down at that have all my games
Speaker 1: pretty much. I was like, she must be thinking, like,
Speaker 1: all right, here we go, because it lays out like
Speaker 1: all the crews and who's working and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. But are you getting pumped. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: I mean this is kind of different for us doing
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game because normally we do the
Speaker 1: third preseason game and that's when the starters will play,
Speaker 1: and we're close to getting ready to go with this season,
Speaker 1: we do the Hall of Fame game and then we
Speaker 1: still really have like a month before the season starts.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I mean I'm getting pomped. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to go do football. I'm actually kind of freaked out
Speaker 1: because preparing for this game is a little different from
Speaker 1: our other games. Like we're not going to see Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: I don't think we're I'm me and obviously know he's
Speaker 1: got a strange shoulder. We're not going to see Ben Roethlisberger. Typically,
Speaker 1: as you know, in the first preseason game, you don't
Speaker 1: see the starters, So that's a little different for us.
Speaker 1: This is going to be more of like an event,
Speaker 1: a show like talk to the guys on the sidelines,
Speaker 1: talk to the Hall of famers. But yeah, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to get going. Um it'll it's look, we're pumped, right,
Speaker 1: What did we have a big discussion about like the
Speaker 1: Year of the Fan here for Fox, Like we're just
Speaker 1: excited to see fans in the stands. We're hoping for
Speaker 1: some normalcy. Um. I just got the big announcement we're
Speaker 1: going to be down on the field, which I'm freaking
Speaker 1: you don't think people really realized how different that was
Speaker 1: for us Last year. We were kind of in this
Speaker 1: front row moat area, which was super hard. You know,
Speaker 1: usually like three hours before the game is the pre
Speaker 1: pre game where the guys before they get in their unis,
Speaker 1: were down there. We're kind of getting all the you know,
Speaker 1: gossip from them, any last minute information. That's when you
Speaker 1: talk to the kickers on both teams after they're done more. Hey,
Speaker 1: how far out do you feel comfortable from I was
Speaker 1: just gonna say, explain how important talking to a kicker
Speaker 1: because the kicker is always a forgotten person on the team.
Speaker 1: It's like he's either the hero or you know, like
Speaker 1: the loser, like the highs and lows of being a kicker. Um.
Speaker 1: For obvious reasons, but I think it's really interesting again
Speaker 1: for those of you that listen to our podcast because
Speaker 1: you're into broadcasting or or or want to know more
Speaker 1: about that pulled back the curtain vibe. Um, why is
Speaker 1: it so important? To talk to the kicker well, because
Speaker 1: you never know if a game is going to come
Speaker 1: down to the last minute kick, and especially an inclement
Speaker 1: weather right like when it's raining or windy or snowy.
Speaker 1: It's always so good to go down there and just
Speaker 1: be like, where do you feel comfortable from? Also to
Speaker 1: you guys, not to get into architectural digest, which I
Speaker 1: know that you're jam Caissa. If there is like a
Speaker 1: side of the stadium that's wide open where wind will
Speaker 1: come in more or there's not. That's also a big
Speaker 1: factor too, because if they're kicking that way. A lot
Speaker 1: of times, this is always a really freaking hard question
Speaker 1: that Joe and Troy will throw to me in a break.
Speaker 1: They'll be like, hey, Aaron, that's my Troy. What which
Speaker 1: way is the wind coming from? I'm like, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: know north, southeast, west, all of the things if it
Speaker 1: hit me in the face. So you know what I
Speaker 1: always do. Sometimes I'll talk to a player or trainer,
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, we're the wind coming from? And then
Speaker 1: you know my favorite thing to say, guys, it's swirling.
Speaker 1: It's a swirl, you know, I don't know. It's like
Speaker 1: when someone asked you for directions and they're like, just
Speaker 1: head north. I go, well, head north. I don't have
Speaker 1: a compass in my fucking hand. That was aggressive. I
Speaker 1: didn't know somewhere. Um, but I'm like, is it left
Speaker 1: or right? Just give me a left or right in
Speaker 1: this whole situation. But um, wait, what was I gonna
Speaker 1: say to you before that? Um? Swirling? Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: eyelashes off. I don't want Jillian to Jillian shaking her
Speaker 1: eyelashes off. Oh no, she said it's okay that there
Speaker 1: was nothing. Yeah, I love her. We should bring Jillian
Speaker 1: in for some um you know, what's new in makeup?
Speaker 1: What's going on in makeup for our female listeners out there? Please,
Speaker 1: um please every Aaron introduced Jilian to the audience at home.
Speaker 1: So Jillian Gregory is joining us right now. Jillian came
Speaker 1: to me about what to she can't hear? She can hear.
Speaker 1: About two years ago, she started up with us and
Speaker 1: is a fan favorite by All on Air talent. Crissa
Speaker 1: loves her as well as I mean, because this girl
Speaker 1: can make a guy or a gal's mug look great.
Speaker 1: Jillian admittedly, so I'm a tomboy. I don't wear a
Speaker 1: lot of makeup. Churs is really good with her makeup.
Speaker 1: But are there any you had a lot of like
Speaker 1: great free things sitting by you today? Are there any
Speaker 1: new trends that maybe some of our listeners could look
Speaker 1: for for easy to do? None of us can do
Speaker 1: the Kardashian contour. You know, I'm really into stick products,
Speaker 1: like a stick bronze. Hold on one second, because okay,
Speaker 1: because you can and just go like this and then

Speaker 1: doing your own makeup, people get really frustrated because they're like,

Speaker 1: And that's why I was like I don't like I
Speaker 1: think yeah, like that was me dating for like two
Speaker 1: weeks and I was like I'm over. So did the
Speaker 1: conversation just suck the whole time? Because you had it
Speaker 1: in your head that he wanted you to sit next
Speaker 1: to him. That was super weird, and then you knew

Speaker 1: he was a weird though, like I didn't like him.
Speaker 1: He also like I don't know, my friends set me

Speaker 1: So the first thing, like he had a really bad posture.
Speaker 1: He's just weird. They have bad posture, don't know, not anymore,

Speaker 1: a guy and you're not the tallest, I'm not like
Speaker 1: a height, I don't care about that. I'm sure like
Speaker 1: you can be kind of short whatever, but he wasn't

Speaker 1: who I am. I mean, I just say everything. At
Speaker 1: this point, everyone knows everything about my life. But I
Speaker 1: was dating. This is not a story to brag about,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm prefacing it with I'll just say it.
Speaker 1: I was not dating this guy. I was in a
Speaker 1: community college class because I went to community college for
Speaker 1: the first two years, got my residency in California, transferred
Speaker 1: to UCSB, great inter transfer program by the way, for
Speaker 1: the Youth of America. That's two Youth of America references.
Speaker 1: Bringing it back, running out of time, all right, So
Speaker 1: I'm in this community college class sitting next to this
Speaker 1: guy and he was so hot, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so into this guy. He's not
Speaker 1: paid any attention to me whatever. So one day he
Speaker 1: starts to give me attention and we're talking and he's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: do you want to hang out this weekend? I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I actually can't. I had a doctor's appointment the next day.
Speaker 1: I couldn't go to the bathroom. I was like, I
Speaker 1: was all backed up. I was like having stomach issues
Speaker 1: all this stuff. So I was going to get a colonoscopy.
Speaker 1: I was nineteen years old. I don't know what a
Speaker 1: colonoscopy was. My my gastrol like whatever. Doctor was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to get a colonoscopy or whatever. Just take
Speaker 1: this stuff, this fluid and then you have to have
Speaker 1: someone drive you to the hospital, to the doctor's off
Speaker 1: to whatever for this thing. So he goes, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? I was like, Oh, I have a doctor's point.
Speaker 1: I was like, actually, that reminds me. I'm supposedick got
Speaker 1: a ride to it. And he goes, oh, I'll take you, okay, again,
Speaker 1: not knowing what is in store here. So he drives
Speaker 1: me to the doctor's appointment. This is the last thing
Speaker 1: I remember is me telling him in the lobby like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll just be back in a little bit. Cut too.
Speaker 1: I am now fully dressed again, and he's standing in
Speaker 1: the room with the doctor and me and the doctor
Speaker 1: explaining to him and like squiggling on this paper, and
Speaker 1: I'm like half out of it. And so we get
Speaker 1: into the car that he's helped me into and I
Speaker 1: was like what just happened? I was like, did you
Speaker 1: have to put Like, the doctor thought it was my boyfriend.
Speaker 1: So he got me dressed. Mind you would never even kissed.
Speaker 1: He's seen me now naked. He gets me dressed and
Speaker 1: the doctor explained to him that I had excessive stool. Backup.
Speaker 1: Look at Aaron's face. She's mortified. It's gonna be like
Speaker 1: a guy thing bad to you. I didn't realize you
Speaker 1: were the cause of them. Yeah that's why. Yeah, So anyways,
Speaker 1: stay true to your health. Probiotic kids will say. Needless
Speaker 1: to say, I left the I left, and then the
Speaker 1: doctor was like, she's going to be going to the
Speaker 1: bathroom all day. Did you ever go out with no?
Speaker 1: And I dropped out of the geography class at Grossmont
Speaker 1: Community College. Probably smart, because are you kidding me? I
Speaker 1: had never even kissed this guy, and I've seen me
Speaker 1: naked and he knows that I had constipation. What I mean,
Speaker 1: I just didn't go on many dates. Like I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think of dates. I just didn't go really on many.
Speaker 1: I will say. My family just came and visited me,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about a story about our dogs,
Speaker 1: and I swear this has a point. This boy we
Speaker 1: were talking about who we went to like homecoming with
Speaker 1: like our our freshman junior sophomore. I know I did
Speaker 1: that out of order senior season, and my dad said
Speaker 1: something like, who did you go to homecoming with your
Speaker 1: senior year? Well that started a whole story of I
Speaker 1: really wanted to go with this one guy. I'll say
Speaker 1: it Preston Berne where he was a lawyer in Dallas.
Speaker 1: Now shout out to the Bernheisel Klan. Anyways, I just
Speaker 1: wanted him to ask me out so bad. But I
Speaker 1: remember I was waiting and I didn't think it would happen.
Speaker 1: Well then, like it was like a Wednesday or something.
Speaker 1: I just made that up and I got a knock
Speaker 1: on my door and it wasn't him. There was another
Speaker 1: boy and I opened up the door. I know, you
Speaker 1: sound like my sister Kendra said this the other day.
Speaker 1: He had this whole like paper thing and he was
Speaker 1: asking you. It was this song and dance and it
Speaker 1: was shaking, and I don't remember how I said no,
Speaker 1: but I had to say no. And then my mom
Speaker 1: came out and she goes, what was that? And I
Speaker 1: was like I was just saying notice so and so,
Speaker 1: and then my mom goes, oh my god, and I
Speaker 1: was like what I was eating beef o Brady chicken wings,
Speaker 1: Huge chicken wings Establishment in Florida. I left the bones
Speaker 1: on the ground and our golden retriever started eating them.
Speaker 1: You cannot give bones to golden retriever. So then my
Speaker 1: mom had to give her peroxide so she would puke
Speaker 1: them up. Anyways, it was a horrible day. It turned
Speaker 1: into this guy coming to my house asking me to homecoming.
Speaker 1: I had to say no. He asked me the game
Speaker 1: I was cheering. I did the highest toe touch of
Speaker 1: my life, like my fels went past my ears. You
Speaker 1: go to homecoming or a prom with who you wanted
Speaker 1: to go with? No, my high school boyfriend Jared Morrell
Speaker 1: broke up with me and then he was going and
Speaker 1: then he took somebody a much younger. Um where is
Speaker 1: he now? Sophomore? He just had a baby, Um, congratulations.
Speaker 1: But um so I went with my friend Matt and
Speaker 1: wasn't fun. No, Mats maths fun. You want to go
Speaker 1: to prom with like the guy you want to hook
Speaker 1: up with, you know, Chris Meyers in the hall? Go
Speaker 1: get him? Um, oh, this was homecoming. He could do
Speaker 1: this podcast while you have to leave. We're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: If Myers is coming in, look at here he comes.
Speaker 1: Everyone Bucklogs coming. Oh yeah, everybody, slow clap with a
Speaker 1: three to one. Let's welcome into to the stage our
Speaker 1: next performer, chrism I'm Chris Meyers. Chris Meyers, please obviously
Speaker 1: right here Christmas get Ala working over Garago. What a fire,
Speaker 1: my agent, This is ridiculous. It's lone of years of
Speaker 1: the business and we were in a hall closet with
Speaker 1: folding chairs. We've really hit the big time curus and
Speaker 1: this is who knows where we're going? Apparently, Myers, what
Speaker 1: can you say? What have you taken away from this
Speaker 1: seminar that you can tell everybody and not get in
Speaker 1: trouble with Fox or the NFL anything great, We're in feedings.
Speaker 1: It's a hundred and eighty out there. We could have
Speaker 1: let's have the seminar on the sun next year. How
Speaker 1: about that? God kidding? That is that going to give
Speaker 1: me in trouble though? Because you know, because Myers reminded
Speaker 1: me of go ahead, So it is July. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what the weather is here usually right now. One
Speaker 1: of the rooms were so cheap, everybody, that's such a deal.
Speaker 1: Everybody says it's a dry heat, so is the eleven.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to live in there, you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a different thing. I'll be back in
Speaker 1: November and hang out with the Cardinals. It'll be nice anyway. Okay,
Speaker 1: Myers reminded of a story at NFC Championship this year.
Speaker 1: So we were nice enough to fly from Green bayd Dallas.
Speaker 1: We saw we went to Troy's how to Way too
Speaker 1: many cocktails with a bunch of people from the crew.
Speaker 1: Then we drove to a what a Burger? We didn't
Speaker 1: drive a car. Service Data at home called FaceTime Myers
Speaker 1: at two am to break down Bucks packers and it
Speaker 1: was terrific. Yeah, anyways, what a story. Well who are
Speaker 1: who are your favorites to cover in this season? Who
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to covering this season? Well, uh,
Speaker 1: it's certainly you know the Rams row and being at
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium with a full crowd will be kind of
Speaker 1: cool one of the Ramcardo games. Yeah, it's a cool citium.
Speaker 1: I I did some games last year in Buffalo and
Speaker 1: in Seattle without the fans, you know, and so in
Speaker 1: Seattle you're so yeah, well you have the fans. It
Speaker 1: really does make a different Yeah, they they it's the
Speaker 1: atmosphere of the energy that we have and obviously less
Speaker 1: words for us, and and it rise that. I I
Speaker 1: don't know, there's a lot of I think the Viking
Speaker 1: off it is really going to be special, improved offensive line.
Speaker 1: I love the talent position there. Cousins will be on it. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's kind of a wide range
Speaker 1: of the young quarterbacks in the a f C. Joe
Speaker 1: Burrows on our schedule, so a few of you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like, here's what I like to you know, Eric
Speaker 1: christ said that the NFC to me, yeah, there's the
Speaker 1: Bucks but repeating his heart so right away that's kind
Speaker 1: of a strike against them, right to go back to back,
Speaker 1: that's an extra challenge. But then after that, I really
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's kind of across the board there.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of even this is it Seattle. The
Speaker 1: Packers gonna be okay, yeah, but the cam Akers injury
Speaker 1: as we're talking, that's big. What are they gonna do?
Speaker 1: Are they going to get a running back? What's happening?
Speaker 1: What are your people, like Sean McVeigh telling you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I'm talking I talked about I thought a guy
Speaker 1: like Levy on Bell if he if he was if
Speaker 1: his heart was in it, he could contribute, kind of
Speaker 1: like McCoy did or the you know four Net had
Speaker 1: a letter Fournette for the Bucks had kind of a
Speaker 1: resurging career. Yeah, and he took yeah, and in the
Speaker 1: playoffs he took off. Yeah. It was really uh so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. The year is so wide open, Right,
Speaker 1: you have the Chiefs and the Box Okay, they were
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl, but then after you have the
Speaker 1: Browns and Bills that I think could could could make
Speaker 1: it to the super Bowl this year. So there's all
Speaker 1: the team a lot of Yeah, there's no but there's
Speaker 1: a lot of That's what I mean. I think everybody's
Speaker 1: in it. And even our buddy Irban Meyer. They'll be better.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be a playoff team. I do think
Speaker 1: that Carson wentz injury really affects the cults. They were
Speaker 1: a playoff team and and and the amount of time
Speaker 1: that he's going to be out in the magic they're
Speaker 1: gonna have to work with. They should probably make a move.
Speaker 1: Always hurt this guy, So who's that? What do you
Speaker 1: think about the gossip. Now what could they would they
Speaker 1: get Nick Foles? I mean, could you imagine? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: actually I think because I worked with him. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: can you imagine comes because look, they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get a backup quarterback and Nick Foles is like number
Speaker 1: three on the depth chart right now for Chicago, Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna actually well not only yeah, not only mean
Speaker 1: he would probably be their starter. I mean based on
Speaker 1: what they went out until once it returns, and then
Speaker 1: how healthy when he when he returns. So I love
Speaker 1: to wear that close that they call me Myers. We're
Speaker 1: not closing, No, but I mean, Chris, I call you
Speaker 1: Aaron and Karrisha. I don't call you hey, Thompson Hey,
Speaker 1: Andrews always call you Myers. I know everybody. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. It's a weird. You want us to go back. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you called me, You called me anything as a long
Speaker 1: as you call me hey. I'm kidding. Sorry, I just
Speaker 1: couldn't help that. They like to joke around a lot.
Speaker 1: They're crazy. I just stumbled in here. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't really know these two people. Chris always does this
Speaker 1: really fun bit at the seminar where he fills one
Speaker 1: of people, and it's one of my favorite things. Now
Speaker 1: we're not doing that this year because we're in a
Speaker 1: different climate. That's fine, he's a dry heat. That's a
Speaker 1: dry heat. But we need to know where you get
Speaker 1: your comedic chops because Aaron and I laugh. Clearly, you
Speaker 1: guys are a great audience. No, actually, we're a tough
Speaker 1: audience because we don't think a lot of people are funny.
Speaker 1: Everyone comes out of your mouth. We think it's hysterical.
Speaker 1: So where does the comedic background come from? Well, I know,
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed you that. It's pretty cool at our
Speaker 1: company in the past, and hopefully we can return to
Speaker 1: that where the boss says, hey, you know, work the room.
Speaker 1: Have fun with everybody everyone. Yeah, whether it's you guys,
Speaker 1: Troy Egg but whoever, you know, Hall of Fame or
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, everybody were all at the same level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we all have fun and nothing's mean spirited. It's
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. So, I you know, I
Speaker 1: growing up, I watched a lot of sports, but also
Speaker 1: watched like late night interviews and those Johnny Carson, the
Speaker 1: late shows like you have now with Jimmy Fallon and
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, etcetera. So I I just liked fast tempo.
Speaker 1: I used to watch all the roast of you know whatever,
Speaker 1: the comics when they were roasting people, and then they
Speaker 1: had a modern version on at MTV. But I like
Speaker 1: the fast pace, you know, tease somebody. I come from
Speaker 1: a family with five kids, so we're always brothers, sisters
Speaker 1: teasing each other and and so that we did it
Speaker 1: not to be mean, but to be funny. You know, what,
Speaker 1: what you were wearing, how your hair looks. What all
Speaker 1: start in the business? Where what was your first job?
Speaker 1: So I called it on a radio station in Miami
Speaker 1: as a teenager, and I had a deep but they
Speaker 1: didn't have caller. I d yeah, and they had well yeah,
Speaker 1: And they had a rule where you can only call
Speaker 1: once to night, so it would be Chris from Miami
Speaker 1: that I would call back disguise my voice, and I
Speaker 1: would be Duke from North Miami and I'd agree with
Speaker 1: my earlier call. So I get on the air twice
Speaker 1: at night. Yeah, it was pretty cool. I had this
Speaker 1: going for like a year and they had fan night
Speaker 1: and they invited both of me down to the radio station.
Speaker 1: So I said to my dad and I couldn't drive yet.
Speaker 1: I said, damn, what should I tell me? Said, well,
Speaker 1: I firstially have to tell him you're lying a little brad.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be doing your homework. Am I gonna
Speaker 1: thanks Dad? I appreciate their support. He drove me down
Speaker 1: there and they left me. They said, wow, kid, you know,
Speaker 1: how about sports or whatever? You want to work weekends
Speaker 1: when you get your license, and so yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like thirteen fourteen then, but I had the temporary license
Speaker 1: and then my my sister would drop me off there
Speaker 1: on weekends behind the scenes, and then got into radio
Speaker 1: and then from their TV locally and then you know
Speaker 1: here closet and I was at Fox in the HR department.
Speaker 1: You know what this is a this is are we
Speaker 1: live by the ways? This is live right? Okay, how
Speaker 1: long have you been? Uh? Twenty years? I was at
Speaker 1: ESPN ten years. Our past crossed in different ways because
Speaker 1: you went over to ESPN, you know, for a time,
Speaker 1: and then came back to Fox. But yeah, yeah, not really. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The funny story. Chris actually thought I was a bit
Speaker 1: until he got put on a Cowboys game with me,
Speaker 1: and then I said, come share my dressing room with me.
Speaker 1: It's so great. There's your own bathroom in here and
Speaker 1: great lighting to get ready, and he goes, I thought
Speaker 1: you were a bit pretty great. I never said that.
Speaker 1: I worded it differently. But she did take She always
Speaker 1: took good care of me on the road trips in
Speaker 1: terms of we're gonna get a good hotel, but I'll
Speaker 1: make sure you get here whatever, you know. So, uh No,
Speaker 1: we had we a great working relationship that yeah, that
Speaker 1: we never really had. Yeah, And that was some of
Speaker 1: the best part with with Joe and Troy on that crew.
Speaker 1: Wasn't just doing the big games and the playoffs at all.
Speaker 1: That weird weather in Green Bay. But and her outfits, yes,
Speaker 1: you bundle up, but but the hang it out great jacket. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean she looked like a peacock at heat one
Speaker 1: time with this just to stay warm. And so I
Speaker 1: but hanging out away, you know, we'd have lunch or
Speaker 1: dinner or even just you don't have a have a beverage,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a great, great fun to hanging
Speaker 1: out talk and tell lenge story and a road trip.
Speaker 1: She was talking about like sometimes it's not all glamorous
Speaker 1: your star if you're eating in a late hour, but
Speaker 1: you're with people you like, and as case in point,
Speaker 1: as we're in the broom closet here and Aaron's you know,
Speaker 1: like having to like pull a curtain because there's like
Speaker 1: these hotel rooms. But the the reality is this, like
Speaker 1: we all like each other. Yeah, it's really fun to
Speaker 1: be together. And I mean, having all worked in different places,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a secret that we're not just
Speaker 1: saying this because we're employed by a Fox, but working
Speaker 1: here it is like a family and it's so much
Speaker 1: fun and everyone gives you a hard time, but at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's like we're teammates and
Speaker 1: there's that locker room vibe. Yeah, we want each other
Speaker 1: to do well. And that's what the seminar. You see
Speaker 1: it here too, when people gather that that you don't see.
Speaker 1: You have your own crew you work with, but people
Speaker 1: you don't see year round, and then we all gather
Speaker 1: here and yeah we do we kind of you know,
Speaker 1: we like each other, like we like having fun. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a good atmosphere. And in trouble if I
Speaker 1: don't go to the picture day, So you guys take
Speaker 1: it from here. Aaron, you picture Artie, you wrap it up, Um,
Speaker 1: I will leave you can kind of ish all right,
Speaker 1: thank you. He's never met a microphone. He doesn't like
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I was gonna say, I
Speaker 1: feel like I like running for the mob. Here. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hide this under my shirt and we'll get We'll
Speaker 1: get the real story on who runs the parking garage?
Speaker 1: All right? Next, do you have any more meetings after
Speaker 1: you die? No, I'm pretty much. Oh, you know, I
Speaker 1: have to do tape one thing. All right, let's see
Speaker 1: you Chris Don Cornelli, who's you know, getting being honored
Speaker 1: in the hall time. You're You've worked with him a
Speaker 1: lot of years, and I think I'm shooting something to
Speaker 1: talk about his performance because my first year was with him.
Speaker 1: I was on the sideline before you had joined us
Speaker 1: at Fox was two thousand four in a green Bay.
Speaker 1: You see. I remember Matt Hasselbeck when he's like, we
Speaker 1: want the ball. We we're gonna store, Yeah, we're gonna score. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Don worked that. There's a tremendous story. He's he's
Speaker 1: a camera operator who handles all the big games. Camera
Speaker 1: operator guys, we call him. He's a hand held down
Speaker 1: in the field, so literally he shoots those like plays
Speaker 1: up and close. He shoots our stand ups go ahead myers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he uh this game, I had Al Harris intercepted
Speaker 1: the ball. Remember Seattle was on their way to score
Speaker 1: with hasselback and the corner, and it was you know,
Speaker 1: frigid cold and Harrison or steps and returns going down
Speaker 1: the sideline untouched fifty two yards and and our camera,
Speaker 1: you know, Cornelli carrying this heavy camera equipment and freezing.
Speaker 1: Whether he is moving as fast. Remember you're going one
Speaker 1: way thinking one thing's gonna happen, like, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 1: interview Seattle, They're gonna win an O T and and
Speaker 1: Cornellie step for step was right. That got to the
Speaker 1: end zone at the same time Al Harris did for
Speaker 1: the winning touchdown. I was able to capture at all
Speaker 1: for people at home and then do the interview. I
Speaker 1: did the post interview. It was so cold, the sweat
Speaker 1: was freezing on the face of Al Harris. But don
Speaker 1: Cornelli are Hall of Fame camera operator handheld was there
Speaker 1: and with you. He's had so many big moments where
Speaker 1: you don't realize the crowd he's fighting through what he's
Speaker 1: going through on the sideline to get the best shot
Speaker 1: or the best interview for us afterwards, or being the
Speaker 1: best position and anyway. So there's something with him that
Speaker 1: we're honoring and and he certainly deserves it. So I
Speaker 1: want to make sure I put my two cents in.
Speaker 1: I want to teammate he spent for us over the years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's a scary position as well. I was working
Speaker 1: a Rams game. I don't it wasn't Rams Eagles, it
Speaker 1: was Rams somebody else, and he was on my sideline
Speaker 1: and I was, you know, he was running and a
Speaker 1: player ran right over him and he ended up. When
Speaker 1: they pulled him up, blood was coming out of like
Speaker 1: his nose and everything. He got hit. Remember, our guys
Speaker 1: don't have pads on, they don't have helmets on like
Speaker 1: the football players, and he was really really injured. And
Speaker 1: I just remember grabbing my microphone and telling our director
Speaker 1: Rich Rousso, you have to get him off the field.
Speaker 1: He's hurt, he's hurt, he's hurt. He wanted to finish
Speaker 1: the game but couldn't. But yeah, Don Cornelly, were so
Speaker 1: excited going into the Hall of Fame. But wow, I mean,
Speaker 1: they get the shots, but it's also so dangerous. They
Speaker 1: really have one eye on what's going around them. And
Speaker 1: also actually they're not even looking what's going around them.
Speaker 1: They're following the play, right. You have to hope that
Speaker 1: other people don't get in their way, and that that's
Speaker 1: a good point because you have to be And Don
Speaker 1: is very whatever the age, through the years, very physically fit.
Speaker 1: He's very athletic himself and muscular to move and handle.
Speaker 1: And you're right, he probably wanted to finish the game
Speaker 1: even with blood pouring daughter his face. That's kind of
Speaker 1: worker he is. I'm glad he's blood. He's okay. So anyway,
Speaker 1: but I enjoyed with you guys tell crazy stories about
Speaker 1: traveling and about dealing with people. It's very entertaining. Chris
Speaker 1: had just told a story about having a massive blockage
Speaker 1: during a first date and had to invite the guy
Speaker 1: to a colonoscopy. Do you have any crazy first date
Speaker 1: stories like that? Wow? I can't you guys tell everything
Speaker 1: on this uh? On this podcast? No, I don't think
Speaker 1: I could have a So I did to have a
Speaker 1: story when I was first a young TV broadcaster in
Speaker 1: Miami and I was on television and I asked this
Speaker 1: girl out and she we were still very young because
Speaker 1: I get into TV young and her her dad when
Speaker 1: I when I came over there to the house, she
Speaker 1: she was her dad answers. So I said, hey, this
Speaker 1: is Chris. You know he works on TV. And I
Speaker 1: think the family thought she didn't really tell him and
Speaker 1: I don't know that I worked on t V s.
Speaker 1: And he said, our our TV said, we got a
Speaker 1: little problem with this thing in the backs of wiring.
Speaker 1: Can you help us out with that? I and I,
Speaker 1: of course I'm not mechanically inclined and I can barely
Speaker 1: hold a microphone. So it was it was up one
Speaker 1: of those embarrassing moments. That relationship didn't go anywhere, by
Speaker 1: the way, but after that, but it was one of
Speaker 1: those so I don't work on TV. I work, you know,
Speaker 1: I guess in TVs or on I'm on TV, but
Speaker 1: I don't work on TVs themselves. Anyway, it was it
Speaker 1: was one of those uh, weird dating moments from from
Speaker 1: way back when. Well, if that's as weird as it gets.
Speaker 1: I mean, you sound pretty straight laced, although I know
Speaker 1: you're not. You're a lot of fun. Um love you,
Speaker 1: thanks for doing this. I'll see you about twenty minutes
Speaker 1: when I run through the heat and get back down
Speaker 1: to the meeting room. Yes, we have more more meetings
Speaker 1: than I think. We're honoring Dick Stockton later. You know,
Speaker 1: I think the commissioners to speak. Your commissioners coming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's always good to see Roge. I remember when
Speaker 1: I saw him at last I said, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: can I call you, Roger? Can I call you? Rosner said, no,
Speaker 1: call me Goodell Rich Anyway, he's a good guy, all right,
Speaker 1: and you tell him to call you myers that we're
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up so we can go see the commission
